Fantasy Football Today: Player outlooks for every ninth-round draft pick by consensus PPR rankings

The 2024 Fantasy Football season is on the way and the Fantasy Football Today team has drafted their initial player outlooks for the entire player pool heading into training camp.

We’re comfortable drafting Robinson starting in Round 9 in full PPR leagues as a No. 3 running back or flex. In non-PPR, he’s worth at least a round earlier and could be a low-end RB2.” – Heath Cummings

“Thomas is a bit of a raw prospect after breaking out late in his LSU career in a Brian Kelly offense that asked him to mainly run two routes. He will have to develop his route tree, but his size-speed combination is undeniable and there’s an opportunity for him to immediately be a mismatch the Jaguars can’t help but utilize in the red zone and down the field.
